The applet is simple to use and clearly demonstrates the n and p dependence of the binomial distribution. Being able to overlay the corresponding Poisson and normal distributions also provides clear and useful comparisons.

Comment:
Though this applet does provide a good display of the three distributions (binomial, poisson, and normal) on the same graph, the set-up is a bit misleading. Since the normal distribution shifts as the value of 'p' is altered, the user may think that 'p' is a parameter associated with a normal distribution.

This applet works well because you can change the n & p values plus see the Binomial, Poisson, & Normal distributions at the same time & on the same graph.Technical Remarks:The problem is the font of each axis. The smaller font makes it harder to distinguish between certain numbers like 6 & 8.
